I have a man I am interested in that is on the 1840 census is Ward 3, New York City. Does anyone know of a resource showing where these wards actually were in relation to today's NYC? I have a man that was buried in 1849 in present day Brooklyn. I have a man with the same name in Ward 3 in 1840. I want to know if Ward 3 is in the Brooklyn area. There is only one man with this name in all of NYC but if I could put him close to where he was buried it would make the case a bit stronger. Michele
